SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 18, 2007 -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) will highlight solutions to support national security and defense next week at the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Foundation's GEOINT 2007 Symposium.
The exposition will be held Oct. 21-24 at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center, San Antonio.
On Mon., Oct. 22, from 9:45-11:00 a.m. in Ballroom C, Northrop Grumman's Rich L. Haver, vice president for intelligence programs, will moderate the panel discussion, "The View from Down Range."
Northrop Grumman will feature geospatial solutions for government, military and intelligence agencies at booth 217.
New this year, Northrop Grumman will launch the Commercial Joint Mapping Toolkit (CJMTK) Geospatial Appliance. The CJMTK Geospatial Appliance combines National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) unclassified domestic and international products and commercial software, providing application-ready data for developers and end users of geospatial information. The product enables access to a complete set of worldwide geospatial information used for supporting command-and-control, emergency operations, humanitarian assistance, conflict resolution, intelligence and special operations, and other defense-related activities.
Additional demonstrations on display in the company's booth include:
- PULSENet™ standards-compliant architecture and software to
support a global sensor network, enabling discovery, access, tasking
and alerting for globally dispersed, heterogeneous sensors.
- Geospatial Semantic Web that uses traditional data operations and
next generation geospatial intelligence to retrieve and reason
multiple geospatial data sources.
- Northrop Grumman geospatial research and development programs that
focus on creating innovative solutions for architectures, tools and
technologies to support geospatial intelligence. Programs include
the Framework for Geospatial Visualization and the Service Oriented
Architecture Foundation for Geospatial Services.
- Measurement and signal intelligence and general intelligence
capabilities that provide support to the operational, arms control
and treaty monitoring, acquisition policy, scientific and technical
intelligence communities, and to national defense policy makers.
- Automated Conflation Service™ unifies multiple separate
databases of digital feature data (vector geometry and attribution),
determining and reconciling commonality (despite differing
appearances) into one integrated reference source.
- The Trinidad program, which provides affordable high resolution
radar imaging to support the military and other U.S. government
agencies with day/night, all-weather intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance capability. Trinidad offers a low risk, responsive
approach to meeting the warfighter and national imaging needs.
- A new geospatial collaboration module that enables collaboration
between multiple geographic information system (GIS) software
products. Used in conjunction with Northrop Grumman's TouchTable™ environment, this module provides intuitive gestures and buttonology
that make collaboration and interaction with multiple complex GIS
products simple for even the novice GIS user.
- NGA Deployable Systems range in size from a super-equipped
"civilian" emergency vehicle, the Domestic Mobile Integrated
Geospatial-Intelligence System, to large, medium and small transit
cases. The variations in physical size reflect the amount of data
storage needed to support the given mission. All have a core set of
geospatial intelligence capabilities. Northrop Grumman will exhibit
the small deployable version.
Northrop Grumman Corporation is a $30 billion global defense and technology company whose 120,000 employees provide innovative systems, products, and solutions in information and services, electronics, aerospace and shipbuilding to government and commercial customers worldwide.
